Buy Amazon Prime Instant Video Outside USA in Singapore

How to buy Amazon Prime Video in the countries which Amazon Prime is not supported such as Singapore and Malaysia? As we have already known, Amazon Prime member is entitled for free movie streaming on over 40,000 titles. However, not all new releases are free for viewing. Instead they are available for rent or purchase at a very affordable price. Due to the geographical restriction, you may find that you are unable to rent or buy this Amazon Instant Video on your device. This tutorial will demonstrate to you on how to buy these videos and streaming on your device seamlessly.

First of all, you will need a VPN service such as PrivateInternetAccess or PureVPN, and we prefer not to buy the video directly from the device's video tab (such as Kindle Fire HDX or Amazon Fire TV). For unknown reason, sometimes the video platform of these devices is not that sensitive to detect your VPN connection. However, there is no problem if you buy the Amazon Prime Movie by logging in to your Amazon account via Kindle Fire HDX's Silk Browser. We will demonstrate on this later.

Apart from the geographical restriction, the other problem is the payment restriction. You cannot use Singapore or other countries' credit card to buy the videos. But this can be solved easily by buying a Amazon Gift Card for yourself (click here to get one if you have not done so). By default, Amazon will first charge to your Gift Card balance, if the gift card has insufficient fund, it will then charge to your credit card.

Step for Buying the Amazon Prime Movie or TV show.

You can use PC or Kindle Fire HDX (or older Kindle Fire or any tablet that you can install a VPN client). Make sure you have switched on the VPN connection; visit SingaBoleh to check if your VPN is successfully connected. (refer to the upper right corner of this webpage)

If you are doing this on your Kindle Fire tablet, open the Silk Browser to visit this tutorial.

was your credit card american or singaporean? i have done all of the above steps and have credit from the gift card but the purchase cannot be completed because apparently amazon only accepts american credit cards? help :/

I had this issue, in my case it was because I had a non-US credit cards saved to my account as a payment methods. Removing all linked cards kept it from doing the address check and my buy went through.

Thanks for the feedback. We just tried another movie purchased with gift card and there is no problem. However, we will find a better way to help you and other who are facing problem in buying the video with gift card. Here is the information.

we use purevpn for unlimited and private tunnel for prepaid, so far so good. It is personal preference, if you like to try private internet access, you can get it here. If you’re using vpn for watching video, you can try unlocator instead.

Hi Yung, so far we have not face any issue with purchasing video using gift card, the screenshot on this post are the actual transaction of we purchased a video using gift card. See if you can remove your credit card record and purchase the video again, it suppose to charge to your gift card first. (just make sure you buy the video through the browser and not the video store on Kindle Fire, or you can do it on your PC) If this doesn’t work out, try to contact Amazon customer service for assistance.
